Good... then I suspect the tape drive needs more time to recognize the tape. Use the function wait_for_drive (or similar...) in mtx-changer if possible, or try a longer wait time after loading the tape. DLT can take up to some minutes. > Only commands that seem does not run well is: > mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind - It finishes immediately That's interesting... are you sure it returns immedeiately even if the tape is not already rewound? When you always test with the rewinding devices, the above observation would be expected, but doing a 'mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 200' you should see a higher block positio with 'mt status', and rewinding should take some time. > mt -f /dev/nst0 retension - It finishes immediately.

According to your job output below, the SD could not use the device as
expected.
I'd check that the tape you want to use really gets loaded and is
usable. The output you present is a little unclear to me... the tape
from slot 1 should be in Drive-1, but it can't be rewound. This might be
a configuration problem (like you use a tape drive which is not in the
autochanger you use, or you have the drive numbers / device names
wrong), but it could also be a hardware problem.
Try, on the shell, the following: (unmount the device from Bacula first)
- use mtx to make sure tapes are loaded as expected.
- check that mtx-changer works as it should.
- Then, load the tae in question (from slot 1) using mtx-changer
- Try to get the drive status using mt: 'mt -f /dev/nst0 status'
- Check for errors in the system log
